Oven Roasted Mahi Mahi with Old Bay
Oven-roasted mahi mahi with Old Bay, butter, and lemon is an easy fish dinner. Lightly brush the fillets with olive oil, season, and bake at 400°F for about 11 minutes, depending on thickness.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds mahi mahi fillets, fresh or thawed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning or blackened seasoning
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges; zest optional
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper optional, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and position the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels.
- Place the fillets on the baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil, sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, and top with small cubes of butter.
- Bake for about 11 minutes, starting to check at 10 minutes and adjusting for fillet thickness. The fish should reach an internal temperature of 145°F in the thickest part.
- Let rest for 2 minutes, then spoon the melted butter over the fish. Garnish with parsley and optional lemon zest, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Cooking time: My fillets took 11 minutes at 400°F. Start checking at 10 minutes and adjust for thickness.
Butter is optional: Skip the butter for a dairy-free option or to cut calories, but keep the olive oil. The melted butter creates a sauce to spoon over the fish before serving.
Seasoning: Old Bay contains salt, so taste before adding more. For a spicier variation, use homemade blackened seasoning.
Frozen fish: Thaw according to package instructions and pat dry before seasoning.
Storage and reheating: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven, microwave, or a skillet with a little olive oil.
